Atila Turan to be finally presented as a Sporting Lisbon player – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
French prodigy, Atila Turan, is set to be presented as Sporting Lisbon’s newest signing after his documents were cleared, officially releasing him from his old club, Grenoble.
Turan’s future had long been settled, with the Lions agreeing a transfer fee with the Grenoble early in the transfer window. While everything was set for the switch, the Championnat National outfit went into heavy debt.
Following their administration, the club had to sell their prized asset for free, as the rules of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 prevent teams from charging fees when they are bankrupt. So Turan was to leave on a Bosman transfer but had to wait for the Court of Commerce to release
the paperwork that would complete his move to Portugal.
The court sent the documents recently and the agent of the French International acknowledged that they have been received.
"I have received the documents missing from Grenoble, and I have come to Sporting. As of now there is nothing that prevents Turan from being presented in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984." The player’s agent revealed.
The representative, Sebastien Thierry, also added that the legal formalities will be taken care of shortly and that his client has arrived in Lisbon to be presented in the encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863.
“Turan is already in Lisbon and the information I have is that the legal part will be treated in the morning and that the presentation can be done in the afternoon press conference. The presentation will take place on Saturday [tomorrow] in the game with
Valencia.” Thierry concluded.
Since the transfer is now done and dusted, the Sportinguistas can test the mettle of the 19-year-old, who is not only hugely talented but has displayed his quality on domestic as well as international stage. However, given his youthful age, he is likely
to be featured peripherally and will be first groomed to the rigours of the Portuguese league before being given a berth in the starting eleven.
While he is undoubtedly skilled, it remains to be seen whether Turan can light up Estadio Jose Alvalade with his scintillating performances just like he did with Grenoble in France.
